Apple juice cost x
\n" ); document.write( "Salad cost ------------ y
\n" ); document.write( "5x+4y=9.5 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "4x+5y=10.3 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 4
\n" ); document.write( "-25x-20 y=-47.5
\n" ); document.write( "16x+20y =41.2
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-9x=-6.3
\n" ); document.write( "/-9
\n" ); document.write( "x=0.70
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "5x+4y=9.5
\n" ); document.write( "3.5+4y=9.5
\n" ); document.write( "4y=9.5-3.5
\n" ); document.write( "4y=6
\n" ); document.write( "y=1.50
\n" ); document.write( "
